ICPSR's Winter Byte

Before we bid farewell to a snow-filled, blustery winter in hopes of  
spotting the first signs of spring, we invite you to enjoy our winter  
edition of DataBytes !


Temperature Rising for 2015 Summer Program!

Registration is open for the 2015 Summer Program! The four-week courses run  
June 22-July 17 and July 20-August 14. And, numerous three- to five-day  
workshops beginning in May are also heating up!

openICPSR--Out of Beta and Free to Members

openICPSR launched out of beta in February with improved usability and the  
announcement that bit-level self-deposits will be a benefit of membership  
in ICPSR. openICPSR is a research data-sharing service for the social and  
behavioral sciences that allows the public to access data at no charge.


openICPSR for Institutions and Journals--Open for Branding & Sharing!

Now available--a fully hosted, economical, professionally-run research data  
repository demonstrating your brand and your organization's commitment to  
public access data and research transparency. openICPSR for Institutions  
and Journals is a research data-sharing service developed to meet the needs  
of universities, journals, professional associations, research centers and  
departments.


What Does an OR (Member Institution) Need to Know about openICPSR?

So many questions (about openICPSR) and now many answers specifically  
developed to help ORs, DRs, and our member institutions! ICPSR has  
developed a bevy of answers to frequent questions about openICPSR as it  
pertains to the membership. In addition, see our recent webinar on  
YouTube, "Introducing the openICPSR Suite" that includes slides and  
brochures for your download and use.

The ORs are Coming--September 30-October 2!

Mark your calendars for the 2015 ICPSR Biennial Meeting. This year's  
conference theme is "Working Together for Effective Data Stewardship." With  
over 17 workshops and sessions in development, this biennial meeting will  
highlight ICPSR's core functions, featuring current data collections and  
data-related tools and exciting new data projects. The meeting will also  
feature practical approaches and strategies to work with data producers to  
share data, write data management plans, steward discipline-focused  
repositories, and locate tools and resources to assist in curating and  
managing research data. Watch your emails for the registration site  
available in late spring! The meeting is open to individuals from member  
institutions.

Council News--Calling all Nominations

in their service to the social science community. We invite you to help us

an inventive and productive year in which membership grew to 750, the ICPSR  
Summer Program achieved record enrollment, and new data-sharing services  
and collaborations were launched.

The 2014 Fall ICPSR Bulletin (PDF) details our newest projects, including  
the National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture (NADAC) and the Archive of  
Data on Disability to Enable Policy and research (ADDEP). Several other  
events are highlighted with a special feature on the ICPSR Undergraduate  
Internship that celebrated its 10th year!
